Ricochet

Here’s a photo of two 9 mm shells that have been “microstamped” earlier today during a demonstration of the technology at the State Police shooting range in Albany.
The Assembly passed a bill last month that would mandate the technology for new pistols. Police like it because it would create a unique identifying stamp on each bullet, making shells easier to trace to a given weapon.
During the demonstration, arranged by Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel, D-Great Neck, she mentioned that the bill has apparently stalled in the Senate, even though Sen. Marty Golden, R-Brooklyn had earlier said it would likely pass in that chamber as well.
